The Sanibel School is not a "Choice" school. If you live off island, you must first register your child with School Choice at the Lee County School Public Education Center, and then apply for a waiver. Waivers are approved by the District on needs and space available bases.

If you live on-island, our Information Specialist, Mrs. Donna Marks, is able to register children at The Sanibel School. She is not on campus during the summer and will return July 21st. Please call her July 21st or later before you come in to schedule an appointment (239-472-1617). Appointments are available between 8 AM and 3 PM daily.

Please bring the information below to your appointment. Thank you.
